A Niall Horan fanfic

Chapter Two

A tear droplet fell from my eyes and landed on my bare knee where it dried up and vanished into thin air. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing at all came out, not even a single breath managed to escape. His eyes stared into mine; I tried to guess what he was thinking, each time probably with fail. He didn’t speak again, just looked at me with a blank expression sprung upon his face whilst I tried my ultimate best to fight of the tears already forming in my eyes.

I ran my fingers through my once golden brown hair, I hadn’t washed it for weeks so I dread to think what colour it was these days. As I did so, Niall also ran his fingers through his beautiful blonde locks, they were so clean, and the way he did it so slowly and seductively made me fall head over heels in love with him once again.

No, what was I thinking? Had I forgot what he’d done to me?

All those 6 years ago, when we were just 12 we were playing outside one day when Niall dared me to climb up a tree. Me being the utter fool I am, I did it.

*6 years ago*

“Hayley, go on..You can do it, don’t be such a wuss will you?” Niall screamed at me whilst running at me, I had two options, to stay at the bottom and face Niall’s tickling fights or to jump up the extremely steep tree. I choose the tree, it seemed the safer option. I climbed and climbed until I reached a branch that I decided was safe enough to sit upon that wouldn’t snap off and sending me tumbling to my death bed.

I looked down giggling to myself about how proud I was that I’d reached so high in the tree nobody else had dared to climb. I felt like god

I looked down and shouted.

“Niall! Look at me, I did it” …..Silence.

Maybe he just hasn’t heard me or he has replied but I can’t hear him.

I keep calm and don’t worry; I try to shuffle myself to the edge of the branch to see if I can catch a glimpse of the whereabouts of my best friend.

I try my best to keep calm, but adrenaline rushes through my body and my breathing gets heavier and I start having mini panic attacks.

I try to scream, I try my best to make any kind of noise, but as much as I try my hardest, nothing comes out, not even the slightest noise.

As I continue shuffling along, I use my whole upper body strength but I can’t move. I look down to discover that my foot has become stuck, I try to pull it out but I can’t feel it. The feeling in my left leg has gone, I try to free myself but it seems impossible.

I lose my gripping from the tree and tumble onto the branch underneath, the only thing stopping me from falling 20 feet to the ground is the fact my left foot is still stuck in the branch above me.

I try and haul myself back up to the branch I had previously been on, instead I miss the branch.

I hear something snap as I hurtle towards the ground out of the tree. I am flying through the air, knowing that I am probably going to die once I reach the ground at the bottom of the tree.

The only hope I have is if Niall has stayed, and miraculously manages to catch my falling lifeless body before I land with a thud.

I land with a thud.

My eyes flutter open, before I bang them shut again because of the bright lights shining towards me. I flinch.
